🧵 Files obtained by Reveal and @wamu885/@DCist show how D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers avoided accountability and remained on the force, even after internal affairs investigators determined they committed crimes. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The records, which have never before been made public, show:
The department’s internal investigators concluded that at least 64 people who currently serve as MPD officers committed criminal misconduct. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…

@wamu885 @DCist The department sought to terminate 24 of those officers.
In 21 of the 24 cases, an internal panel of three officers blocked the terminations and instead issued much lighter punishment.
The panel was led by Robert J. Contee, who is now chief of police. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…

@wamu885 @DCist The department did not seek to terminate the other 40 officers, more than half of whom the Internal Affairs Division believed had been driving either drunk or recklessly. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist Other criminal conduct the department did not try to fire current officers for included recklessly handling a firearm, harassment, property damage, stalking and theft.
